There’s that sassy birthday girl!
We all know what my birthday means for me. In general, it means I’m better than you. But it also means I’m one year more awesome, one year funnier, more intelligent, and more beautiful, one year more likely to contract various kinds of diseases and arthritis, one year closer to retirement, and one year more likely to purchase a Buick and complain about kids these days.
But what does my birthday mean for you?
If you’re my triplet sisters, it means you need to call me and tell me happy birthday as we once again celebrate/lament the fact we share the same birthdate and have been doomed to splitting the potential stock of birthday presents by three for decades.
If you’re my parents, it means you need to remember to send me money. A call would also be accepted.
For relatives, see above minus the calling part. A card will do.
If you’re the 16-month-old that I babysit, it means that you’re going to be catering to my every whim and desire today, trying to calm me down when I throw tantrums, taking me to watch the dogs at the dog park and letting me touch every single one, especially the vicious-looking one, and catching the food I spit out in your hand.
If you’re a blog reader, it means you should either a. write a blog post naming 20 things you like about my blog or b. tell me how great I am and say happy birthday in the comments.
If you’re one of my East Coast friends, you need to remember the 3 hour time difference and try not to call me before 9 am (12 pm) because, as Solomon said, “A loud birthday call in the morning will be regarded by the neighbor’s as a curse.” Or something like that.
If you’re my friends on the West Coast and don’t live in the Bay Area, you should express your regrets that you couldn’t visit me on my big day in order to present your very large presents to me. These presents can be mailed, and you should probably rush them first class so I can open them sooner.
If you’re my boyfriend, things get a little tougher. Not only must you call, but you’re also required to present me with the birthday gift of my dreams, the thing I mentioned off-hand a couple of months ago when we were walking out of Dillard’s and I’m not sure if you heard me or not but that was really the only thing I wanted and if you didn’t get it for me I’m going to be really upset, but I’m not going to tell you I’m mad, I’ll just be kind of stand-offish for the next couple of weeks and repeatedly say I’m fine and nothing’s wrong. So…I look forward to receiving, cooking, and burying it. Hint.
And if you’re my friends in the Bay Area, go to the ATM right now and get some cash because you’re going to be buying me drinks tonight! It’s fun for everyone!
Thanks in advance for all the birthday wishes! It’s my day!

The irony is today is my birthday and i stumble across this :)) happy birthday to us both.. I might be a year or so older :)) but unfortunatley for me birthdays work slightly more differently and but fortunately I’m not apart of triplets :)) but on the better side of things i hope we both have a year to remember hope we both have more to babble about on our individual sites :)) happy birthday :))
To you too! Hope it was a good one.

I’ll pretend it was unexpected. Thanks!
Happy birthday! Have fun!

That picture is super sassy. I share a birthday with someone as well. My twin and I actually share a birthday this month… but honestly, we celebrate all month. Maybe it’s because we have to share it that we demand more attention for our birthdays… that or because we are just more awesome. Ha! Happy Birthday!!
I know the feeling—thanks for the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday~!
Thanks a lot!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have enough of them to fulfill every dream you have.
I certainly had enough birthday wishes to last a while. Does that count?
Happy Birthday!!!!
Thanks! It’s over now, but I’m still older.
Have a very large one with my best wishes!
It was delicious.
DId you ask your boyfriend for a placenta?
Ew, mom.
I’m not sure you could GET any funnier, so good luck with this coming year. And happy birthday!
You’re too much! I can already feel this year is going to be great.

Scratch my back?
Happy birthday, your blog is the best and I hope you get exactly what you deserve today, which is not necessarily the same as the things you asked for 😀 anyway, enjoy your big day you won’t be 25 for more than the next 12 months (although you can try).
I’m going to be 25 for eva!
